The screen on my S3 is not working

Thursday 04th of April 2013 / forums.androidcentral.com
today my screen stopped working, I think its just the picture because when the phone rang and I swiped where the answer button normally is, the phone answered, but I couldn't see anything on the screen. If anyone can help that would be great.

S3 camera issue - videos and photos not working!!

Monday 18th of June 2012 / androidforums.com
Hi all,After being an iPhone person since 2007, I've finally decided to go for an Android phone. Got my S3 on the launch date and loved it... However...I've made a few videos on my S3 and roughly half of those are not working when I try to play them. On the gallery when I click the video icon, the first message that I get is "Unable to load photo" and then when I click on the "play" icon on this error screen, the following pop-up message comes up "Sorry, this video cannot be played". Also, when taking a few pictures consecutively, most of them are not being saved correctly, they are on the Gallery but it is just a big blur, I can't see anything at all on the picture or thumbnail.I've checked the video and image files, they all appear to be of a large size, thus something is being saved on it, but cannot play or see anything...The camera files are being saved on a 32Gb mini sd hc card (kingston, 10 speed rating), could the card be causing this? Or is it a hardware/software problem? Is anyone having this issue?Thanks!

Screenshot not working

Wednesday 07th of August 2013 / androidforums.com
My screenshot on my s3 is not working as it should. Sometimes it takes a screen shot, sometimes it just vibrate without saving anything, and sometimes it takes a screen shot, but it's just stuck on "saving image" and it just shows a broken file in the gallery.Does anyone have the same problem? How can I fix it?

S3 - touch screen stopped working! Help

Tuesday 19th of November 2013 / forums.androidcentral.com
Guys, the touch screen of my S3 just stopped working. I removed the battery and put it back several times and it still does not work. The phone is operating normally, it is only the touch does not work! The display is not broken!The only thing that works on the screen is the "back button" ....What happens? It is expensive to repair?

I recently replaced the glass screen on my s3, by accidentally i cut the cable/ribbon sensor that is used for the menu and return buttons. I ended up putting the new screen on anyways. Now the lcd screen does not respond to touch. The screen works fine but i cannot do anything since it does not respond when i touch the lcd. My question is, if i replace this with a new ribbon willl the lcd screen start working again?

Touch screen on galaxy s3 quit working

Saturday 01st of March 2014 / forums.androidcentral.com
So last night my touch screen stopped working, so my phone is useless it turns on it rings and I get text messages but I can't answer calls or read the messages cause the screen doesn't work. I've not dropped the phone, it's not gotten wet so I have no idea what the problem could be. So far I have taken the battery out and put back in a number of times (each time with fingers crossed) I have plugged it into the charger it charges fine I hooked it up to my desktop again all it did was charge. I did read a thread somewhere last night top put it in the freezer for 15 minutes with the battery out it should fix the issue, well it did for three minutes so I basically have to do that in order to make a call or send a message. I did put it in the freezer then hook it up to the computer and download all my pictures so I have those backed up. But is there anything I can try that will solve this issue?.Thanks

Galaxy s3 touch screen not working after lens change

Monday 23rd of June 2014 / forums.androidcentral.com
Hi, i recently changed the cracked screen on my galaxy s3 and i think i did everything properly. however the touch screen does not respond to touch any more and neither do the 2 buttons at the bottom of the screen, although they do light up when the phone is turned on and so does the LCD. the phone appears to be working properly in all other ways. can you please advise as to what i might have done wrong. Also while i had the glass screen off, i turned on the phone and the LCD did not respond to touch then either

My guy at the computer repair store said it had no operating system... My question is who do I send it to?Why did this happen , and can i install a OS myself?
